Summary

The 2024 Baroque on Beaver season was reported as the festival’s twenty-third season. A post-event account describes orchestral, contemporary, benefit, chamber, jazz, and opera programming across Beaver Island, including the world premiere of Eric Malmquist’s Great Lake Music.1

Program record

The account names Robert Nordling as music director in his fifteenth season and describes an opening lecture and a New + Next concert with commentary and a question-and-answer session. Its benefit concert featured pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, identified there as the 2024 Concours Musical International de Montréal winner.1

The annual Founders Concert included orchestral and vocal music, with Martha Guth. The festival ended with its first opera presentation on Beaver Island; the report calls it sold out and names narrator Peter Amster and vocalists Guth, Ricardo Lugo, Thaddaeus Bourne, Erika Morrison, Karen Cook, and Matthew Cook. These are report-specific program claims, not a complete cast list or a general biography of any participant.1

Open questions

  • What were the exact dates, programs, venues, and full casts for each 2024 event?
  • Can programs or BIPAA records independently document the commissioned work’s commission, instrumentation, and later performance history?
